33 Metrics for Care Transition Management

The quality of transitional care is shaping up to be a critical factor in value-based reimbursement. For example, under CMS's readmissions penalty program, one-third of a hospital's HCAHPS score, which comprises 30 percent of its overall value-based purchasing score, rests upon three transitional care questions added to the Experience of Care survey.

As demonstrated by the myriad pilots in this area, hospital bouncebacks can be avoided and inpatient quality items addressed by good transitional care planning — by making sure that all medications, tests, procedures and education that patients need are in place when they leave a hospital's care and transition to the next setting of care.

The data dive reflected in 33 Metrics for Care Transition Management is based on responses from hundreds of healthcare organizations to six healthcare benchmark surveys conducted between 2010 and 2013.
